I can't seem to find my copy to peruse the details of the text. Although that material in itself wouldn't be a litmus test of the actual historical facts. I remember talk in the 70's about negs that were no longer available of the Spanish Civil War. I bet those are the very ones. What is so compelling about the material is the progression from the exuberance of the beginning victories to the despair during the retreat and final battles. I've met a few of those veterans, and have always been moved by their stoic acceptance of their defeat. But would it been somewhat awkward to print those during the period of the Anglo-American supported dictatorship of the catholic hyper-fundamentalist generalissimo Franco. Oops, did I just say all that. Well, never mind. Slobodan Dimitrov bdcolen wrote: > > Not left behind, Slobodan - donated to the Museo Nacional Centro De Arte > Reina Sofia by Cornell Capa.
